Motherfucker, you know that it takes vegetation to produce the % of oxygen in the air that multi-cellular organisms need to survive right? How about California stop creating fires? I am not convinced the sun is doing it.
This is forest management 101" Bring back selective logging and crews like you and my buddies up here near Yosemite to clear the brush and save the forest & millions of dollars...!
Well a skid steer doing this work gets $6500 for a days work. I cant imagine what they are getting using this machine. Work a few months out of the year and you could be set
Killer machine. I'm also impressed at how quiet the cab is. When you run or work for a land clearing company, that cab is your office. There's good reason modern equipment has all the creature comforts. More comfort = more time in the operator's seat before fatigue sets in.
That's a beast of a machine! So quiet in the cab and so productive. I'd pay you to come to work and drive that thing. Better than any ride at your local show. Cheers from Australia!!!
Cool video!! Land Management is so fun. The machines ,wether using skid steer or a dedicated machine, rock. Makes us men feel like boys again . I have added that service to my business and it just gets growing. . Keep up the good vids.. trucks, trailers, and machines good videos on all subjects.
That is very impressive. I'm especially impressed by how quiet the cab is. Very quiet. Right now I would love to be able to afford a good skid steer and a good head on it. Have a great weekend and be safe.
I know the feeling I was in a similar position with my land but I ended up spending my saved money on a good used bulldozer. I am using it to clear and reshape the land as well. Got a great used 45,000 lbs machine for less than a skid steer and a mulching head. Might want to check into that.
Awesome machine, I happened to notice that there was a four legged member of the team onboard as well! Had a crane course the other day together with a few other truckers and it turned out that we all had dogs….
The best part of the entire thing was you have likely the biggest baddest ass mulcher out there and the sweetest dog breed in the front seat. I have mine sitting on my lap 🐶🤣.
Manzanita, primary fuel for a fast travelling fire. The manzanita burns high and hard and ladders it right up into the pine canopy. Once that happens in windy conditions, there is no fighting it. A friend of mine in malobu Canyon had a house with a swiming pool acting as a surge tank for a high volume sprinkler system. He still lost the house because the wind borne manzanita embers went right over the "wet zone" and his own landscaping burned back into the house. People out in the subrban areas that live along the brush areas need to learn more than stop, drop and roll..... A weekend spent learning fire safe practices on the cal fire website can save a lot of misery.
Or buy a dozer.. I am kidding of course even though I did but I live in south alabama big fires aren't common because it's so wet. What a job it must be to fight fires out there!
I know a guy in central ca that runs one of those prime tech 300s. He runs a tracked chipper paired with it in areas where he’s going to take down a bunch of trees. The masticator or mulched will take down the tree and the tracked chipper with grapple arm then chips it. Saves a bunch of time versus the mulched trying to chip up the tree.
Saw one of these parked along I-29 between Omaha, NE and Kansas City, Mo and you could just see the path of work. Crazy machine! And LOL love the doggo in the cab. Assuming he's there to supervise making sure the bigger trees are saved to pee on LOL
He did an impeccable job I love how he explained and he gave in-depth information priceless priceless video I want one of those things I bet you I would make good money
One of these just cleared a big piece of land near the high way where I live. At least a 500 foot by 500 foot piece of land. The machine then sat by the road for about a month. I'm guessing until they needed it at their next job. Plus I'm sure it was good advertising. I had never seen anything like it.
Man that thing is sick!!! I’m trying to get more into this work I live up in not cal foot hills and just got a brand new cat 299 D3 xe and man the toughest part is figuring out how to get the work
Wow, color me impressed! I live in a similar climate (Mount Shasta) and it seems like a large chunk of my life is spent dealing with manzanita, and I know how tough that crap is, that beast mows it down like grass! How often do you get poison oak working out in that stuff?
Its one way of dealing with brush fire fuel, mulches it then tills it into the ground, Its that or the land owners have to do spot controlled burns to get shot of the brush, looks as though it has a decent winch on the back if you need work a really steep slope.
That machine is amazing. I did wildland fire 20yrs or so ago. Did a fire in SoCal, cut manzanita 15ft tall with a 20 man crew. That stuff kills saw chains, super hard, so it was more amazing to watch this machine rip thru it. I am looking into starting a business doing this. Can you please tell us what you charged for this job. It would help figure things. Per acre or something. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I'm doing this now on my 8.5 acres. Contractors running the mulcher on an ASV, I'm grabbing the keepable stuff and stacking it up with the grapple on my Takeuchi TL130. DNR picking up half the bill. Good times?
Like you said, that 300 series Mulcher sure is an awesome machine. It can do so much, & in such a very short time span. I would certainly like to have one of those myself. I could get somuch done in such a very short time period, & get on to other jobs.
You'd pick up the speed by over 60%, that's a great idea. Yep if you could just loop around like with a bush-hog and never have to stop and back up, it would certainly be something the forestry service should look into.
Its amazing how much brush is in there and what it takes to get it knocked down. I can remember doing that stuff as a teen with hand tools man that was hard work. These new machines are just awesome. I really hope the costs continue to come down on the equipment so it becomes far easier and more affordable for land owners to do this!! Nice work👍
I was told if i buy a mulcher it needs to at least 300hp for the slopes and species of brush we have here in WV ..... i looked at skid steer mulchers and even demoed one (I believe it was a Fecon head with Deere stickers) i wasnt impressed ..... we run disc cutters or bushogs on skid steers and do pretty good ..... then grub an burn with hoes what ever is left ..... love your videos and mulchers ..... i always thought all of CA was goobers im sure like they think all of WV is hillbillies LOL
Yesterday I was mulching branches with my 2000watt electric garden mulcher, imagining I was operating a large shredder the tree loppers use but jealous. Now I’m imagining the tree looper guys being jealous of these machines.
So the “cruise control “ is similar to how a cat dozer has variable travel speed control on the drive stick. If I understood you correctly, am I right in my assumption?
@Vbelt, you mentioned that you guys had to put a rush on this job because you were getting into the dry season. My question is, does mulching season overlap with prescribed fire season, not that California allows much of a window for prescribed fire. As a side note, does CalFire contract mulchers on active fire?
@@VBELTandSON That makes sense, hot machines, rocks, and dry fuels could lead to a pretty big liability. If you could get a fire contract you could probably buy a couple of those monsters, and make the hand crews lives a lot easier to boot. Stay safe on those slopes, and thanks for the fast response.
Hello from Chicago! How much would it cost to bring that big machine out and do this same type of space without government help, just the land owner footing the bill?
Sam it’s because of operators like you we in California can reduce fire danger and increase forest management. Great job and videos
Motherfucker, you know that it takes vegetation to produce the % of oxygen in the air that multi-cellular organisms need to survive right? How about California stop creating fires? I am not convinced the sun is doing it.

Are you joking if not I agree
I would never have any practical use for one of these but I want one
You could rent it out if people need it
Well a skid steer doing this work gets $6500 for a days work. I cant imagine what they are getting using this machine. Work a few months out of the year and you could be set
lol exactly my thought
I'll 'chip' in a few dollars for some time in the seat! 😂
Anything is a practical use in 2021
As a surveyor who has cut his way through that stuff with chainsaws for 40 years here in the Sierra Foothills I can really appreciate this video
Thank you!
Killer machine. I'm also impressed at how quiet the cab is. When you run or work for a land clearing company, that cab is your office. There's good reason modern equipment has all the creature comforts. More comfort = more time in the operator's seat before fatigue sets in.
Thank you for posting this. Such disturbing crap in the world, I find this calming. It really is an amazing machine.
That's a beast of a machine! So quiet in the cab and so productive. I'd pay you to come to work and drive that thing. Better than any ride at your local show. Cheers from Australia!!!
I would love to see what that property looks like next spring. Great job and awesome video
Cool video!! Land Management is so fun. The machines ,wether using skid steer or a dedicated machine, rock. Makes us men feel like boys again . I have added that service to my business and it just gets growing. . Keep up the good vids.. trucks, trailers, and machines good videos on all subjects.
Love the channel look forward to watching it every time a notification pops up🤜🏼.
Crazy how fast it recovers lol. That's gotta be a blast.

Living in Oregon. Great way to target areas of forest that has heavy plant fuels that dry out and catch fire.
I can't believe how quiet that is .... amazing
Very impressive, awesome machine, great job! Thank you and best wishes.

That is a unit! My brother and I do this with a skid steer and fae head. The finish you had after one pass was impressive.
Cleetus fan? Lol
@@dansexitstrategy5042 i love cleetus but why do u ask?
@@GonzoDonzo the wording of your comment. I was actually expecting the reply go be an enthusiastic HELL YEAH BROTHER! lol but yeah. Cleetus rocks🙌
I saw one of these mulching concrete pillars. What a beast
Man, those mulches are just beast.
Beautiful machine! I hope to get in the clearing game myself with a disc mulcher. Maybe someday if i am blessed enough I can get this
Bro you got this just stay focused on what you want and how you are going to get there, everyday assess your plan 💯 may the Creator bless your way.
The right tool for the job is a beautiful thing. Maybe some GPS units with land maps would help you know where you are in those woods? Good video.
It's hard to believe they are worth the price until you see someone that knows what they are doing put in a day's work.
I feel like it leaves a somewhat recognizable trail!
Best intro you have done yet! Keep it up!
He did an impeccable job I love how he explained and he gave in-depth information priceless priceless video I want one of those things I bet you I would make good money
Great video, that voice over is great.
Keep it up you’ll be a mill before you know it!
Y'all have awesome machines for sure. Good operators to boot! Dan right I subscribed! 😃

Wow, color me impressed! I live in a similar climate (Mount Shasta) and it seems like a large chunk of my life is spent dealing with manzanita, and I know how tough that crap is, that beast mows it down like grass!
How often do you get poison oak working out in that stuff?
That’s a beast Sam. Awesome 👍
These must be essential for clearing forest undergrowth and fire risk management. Creating cool zones is essential to fire management
Looks just like a tiger cat
That machine is amazing. This is now the best mulching machine that I've ever seen during my 19,345 days of living.
Its one way of dealing with brush fire fuel, mulches it then tills it into the ground, Its that or the land owners have to do spot controlled burns to get shot of the brush, looks as though it has a decent winch on the back if you need work a really steep slope.

I AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PERFORMANCE HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET 50 ACRES DONE
I like prime tech would love to try one out. We have 3 cmi 300’s at work they are really nice too.
Have u hugged your mulcher today. Great forestry management.
I'm doing this now on my 8.5 acres. Contractors running the mulcher on an ASV, I'm grabbing the keepable stuff and stacking it up with the grapple on my Takeuchi TL130. DNR picking up half the bill. Good times?
Awesome mulching machine👍☕️🍩
That saving money also with no dump fees or hauling fees nice machine
See the controls- an F-35 aircraft controls must be wonderful. That mulcher is nice...
Having went through the Carr fire and Camp fire this is something that definitely needs to be done in NorCal.
Not just NorCal.
@Ronnie Deacon you guessed right. Nobody gives a shit.
@Ronnie Deacon and i've reported you for that mal ware spam yet again
@Soren Damon
In all the Dems ran shit. They love to love nature but can't manage it 😂😂😂
Good video. First time to see a monster like that.
Great video, nice equipment to have . Have a great day
If anyone is interested. The opening music of this video is by Grant Lamotte - Keep Walking.
I though my Fendt 828 with FAE Umm DT 250 was badass... this is another level!
At just under a half mill, I'm glad it comes with a dog!
The ultimate lawnmower!
Awesome videos! How long does a machine like that take to clear 50 acres?
I want to know this too
Equipment did a fine job.
Like you said, that 300 series Mulcher sure is an awesome machine. It can do so much, & in such a very short time span. I would certainly like to have one of those myself. I could get somuch done in such a very short time period, & get on to other jobs.
Hell yeah brother!!! Great stuff!!
What a beast of a machine 😎👌
Impressive machine and great job! Ready for the next video.
Near the weight of a D6t Caterpillar! Hell of a brush warhorse!
Could you put another mulcher head on the rear so you could just run forward and do the back-up mulching while driving forward?
You'd pick up the speed by over 60%, that's a great idea. Yep if you could just loop around like with a bush-hog and never have to stop and back up, it would certainly be something the forestry service should look into.
Nice machine! You should buy it!
What a beast, and it’s so quiet. Thanks fr sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Audible . . Audiobooks. Awsome way to.pass the time
operated 0ne winter work was nice machine
this is one of the the things i want but dont need BUT I REALLY WANT IT!!
Whistlin Diesel needs you
You guys kick ass 🤘🏻 I love this industry
That’s one big unit.
what kind of production did it give you. I would think the Ca diesel price of running it would make it an expensive day rate.
Its amazing how much brush is in there and what it takes to get it knocked down. I can remember doing that stuff as a teen with hand tools man that was hard work. These new machines are just awesome. I really hope the costs continue to come down on the equipment so it becomes far easier and more affordable for land owners to do this!!

Lol.... dreaming. In BIDENS America you won’t own anything.
Amazing machine, i'm impressed, even your King Charles Spaniel likes it , i see. Bob. New Zealand.
Thank you and Australian Shepard 👍🏻
Will it work on parked cars .....lol.... Brilliant video ... Big thumbs flying high 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Should turn these loose too control the fire danger in the western states! Thxs for sharing!
So about 1000 of those to clear up the fuel load in Fire county in California would be nice.
I was told if i buy a mulcher it needs to at least 300hp for the slopes and species of brush we have here in WV ..... i looked at skid steer mulchers and even demoed one (I believe it was a Fecon head with Deere stickers) i wasnt impressed ..... we run disc cutters or bushogs on skid steers and do pretty good ..... then grub an burn with hoes what ever is left ..... love your videos and mulchers ..... i always thought all of CA was goobers im sure like they think all of WV is hillbillies LOL
From what I hear is good bye little primetech hello PT300
Nice machine. You might want to consider getting one.
Holy hell that thing is a beast! I am amazed how it just rips through shit effortlessly.
|What a ripper
Dude, I didn't see any shit except trees. Do you call trees shit?? That's a new word to us here. God bless.
Yesterday I was mulching branches with my 2000watt electric garden mulcher, imagining I was operating a large shredder the tree loppers use but jealous.
Now I’m imagining the tree looper guys being jealous of these machines.
Sam has a Dirt Perfect sweatshirt on. Mike Simon would be very proud!
that thing is a beast!!
I was wondering if there was a machine big enough to do these jobs quicker/better. It takes POWER and fluid flow to do the job
So the “cruise control “ is similar to how a cat dozer has variable travel speed control on the drive stick. If I understood you correctly, am I right in my assumption?
Great video Sam 🇺🇲
What is the depth of cut? What is the size of mulch ( debris)? Could a person spread grass seed and straw?
you know its a nice machine when there is space for your dog to ride along.
SO , what was the charge per acre to mulch this 50 acres ? DID you purchase this machine OR just "try it out" ?
@Vbelt, you mentioned that you guys had to put a rush on this job because you were getting into the dry season. My question is, does mulching season overlap with prescribed fire season, not that California allows much of a window for prescribed fire. As a side note, does CalFire contract mulchers on active fire?
We choose not to mulch in dry season. We knock out smaller jobs. Some guys mulch in the summer and idk what cal fire does
@@VBELTandSON That makes sense, hot machines, rocks, and dry fuels could lead to a pretty big liability. If you could get a fire contract you could probably buy a couple of those monsters, and make the hand crews lives a lot easier to boot. Stay safe on those slopes, and thanks for the fast response.
That machine even has a Doggo pocket
Nice and clean ! Good job 👌🏻
Dam that is a really nice machine
Great video!
Dam that machine dont give a F its clears them out quick.
Another great video! When you swapping the old 3500 to dually? Lol
Hello from Chicago! How much would it cost to bring that big machine out and do this same type of space without government help, just the land owner footing the bill?
You cleared the bushes out the lot to make look nice, soil got dried out then trees dehydrated. Fire claimed them.
Sounds clever but that’s not how it works. Lol
That beast is serious man
Wow ! What a Machine ! 👍 👍
